enine, repulslve remains of the five Haymarket
murderers, who perished by rope and bomb,

miles cut from the city of their fearful crime
and death Mayor Roche to-day sent for the
committee on arrangements for the funeral of
the men executed Friday, and had long in
terview with them. Ordinarily, no permit is re-
aured for funeral, but owing to the circum-
stances of this case the Mayor deemed it best
for the city to assume a general oversight of the
whole affair. The committee itself requested
that sufficient police should be around to clear
the way and preserve order, and readily
quiesced in all suggestions made by the Mayor.

tion was made

The question of the primary disposal of the

the directors of the cemetery that the vault in
Waldheim, being lately constructed and on i'm
proved principles, was the strongest of any GEM

cared to the directors that it was feared by the
families OF the Anarchists that determined
effort would be made by phy ysicians to get pos
session of the remains for dissection, and they
wanted them we'll protected The directors
agreed to allow the bodies to be placed In the
vault.
Plaster casts have been taken of the faces Of
the dead Anarchists. except that of Lingg.
Captain Black asked if he would deliver

"If / am alive I will speak," he exclaimed,
then adding, by way OF explanation; 'Yes,

speaking is to be done will be done
right at the graves. The disposition is
to select only conservative men. those who
would confne their words to praise of the
beauty of the mems lives and explana-
tions of their principles. No one will be
lected to drive the people frantic
